As we learned from visiting the Hallam Street crossing, the residents living in Winthrop‘s Neck are called Neckers.

We are going to first look at the west side which sort of resembles a harp on the left side of the Central Vermont freight yard. The State Pier is on the right side of the tracks.In the lower left corner is the footbridge to Hallam Street.

As a boy living on Winthrop, Harrison or Tenth Streets encircled by railroad tracks and the water, it was hard not to be influenced by boats and trains.

When crossing the footbridge, the first place you meet at the corner of Winthrop and Harrison Streets is Max‘s Tavern, the pink shaded (for partial brick construction) triangle pointing down.
